Are there any good function to replace special characters, for example double qoutes, with something that are more html-safe? For example: <option
    label="Dekora Marilet "Amerikano" (9859)"
    value="98590">
</option> The above is generated with PHP and fetched from a database (postgresql). I'ld like to have the double qoutes replaced with "something else" ;) There could be other strange characters as well that needs to be replaced, so some sort of universal function would be really nice to get tips on… ;) Sincerely Victor
Try "htmlspecialchars()" and/or "htmlentities()". -- Pavel a.k.a. Papi
